Road trip day! Time to head back down south, but not before ending the week with some time management tips! How do you get on top of all those cash flow management items we discussed yesterday? By making it a priority!! You need to schedule the time in your week to go over your company financials the same way you would schedule a doctors appointment. Take control of your day. Don't let your day control you.
We are flooded everyday with emails, text messages, phone calls, etc. Many of them will be urgent, but the main question is are they important? As we have been discussing over the past several weeks, it is not necessarily important to be busy, it is important to be effective. Being effective is dedicating time to work on the things that are important, not just urgent. Our inboxes can easily take over our day and have us bouncing from one task to the next, but at the end of the day will we have spent any time working on the important things to our business?
One of the major shifts Dan has implemented based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is creating a weekly schedule and then working off of that. It has been transformative. Take the 20-30 minutes over the weekend and determine what are the most important items for your to accomplish or dedicate time to this week. It can in both your professional and personal life. Then schedule them out accordingly. As the week goes on you can make adjustments daily, but the clear guideline to help you throughout the week will pay off.
Lastly, this is likely the last episode until after Thanksgiving unless a surprise episode appears next week. Thank you all for listening, and have a wonderful holiday with your families. Dan is thankful for all of you and your support throughout the year. Be well.
